Munich, 15th November 2011, (productronica stand A1.458). JTAG Technologies announces a quantum step in training and demonstration equipment for real-world boundary-scan testing, device programming and related activities.

In co-operation with the Benelux regional representative of Altium - Transfer BV - and hardware development consultancy DsignWorx BV - the new JT 2155 training board has been devised to demonstrate all the latest features and test techniques available to users of JTAG Technologies ProVision JTAGLive application development systems. For Altium users the design serves as an example of how to adapt the feature-rich Nano board into a realistic custom design.

features of the JT 2155 are:

ARM 7TDMI Core NXP processor

Altera Cyclone 3 FPGA

DDR2 memory block

Serial I2C memory

Analog to Digital Converter

Accelerometer

Touch screen controller

JTAG Technologies MD, Peter van den Eijnden, states the new training board has been built to allow us to show exactly what JTAG/boundary-scan is capable of in the second decade of the 21st century. Traditional IEEE Std. 1149.1 boundary-scan testing is well known, but many of our leading edge customers need to both learn about and see other JTAG applications. For example, some customers have been requesting demonstrations of JTAG testing using the processors core, while others have sought to embed at-speed BIST engines into FPGAs. To profile these features you need a first class hardware platform as provided by the JT 2155.
